Rika is here in the spirit of this Titanic program
To the very end too, since the last skater missed the FS cut and let Miyabi in. I would've loved to have been there when she found out she was going to free.The "Happy Titanic Performance" is becoming a trademake of Japanese ladies skaters moving on with their lives. First Miyu Nakasio, now Oba.
They said that her motivation for continuing was to perform this program at Nationals. She must have been on pins and needles waiting for the last performance to see if she could slide in...
Miki Ando, her coach, looks happy, too!Oba looks so happy after her skate
Yes. I agree. The variety of coaches makes a difference. Everyone has their own style. Also, I’m enjoying the judging in this event so far. Wish they gave their skaters better PCS scores though.I love the variety of programs in Japan. Watching Russian Nationals yesterday, I was struck by how similar all of the short programs were to each other.
